Around SBN: Stan Van Gundy Fired As Head Coach Of The Magic

TERRELLE PRYOR TO TAKE HIS TALENTS TO OHIO STATE

Large_terrelle-pryor-signs_medium

COLUMBUS, OH (AP) After signing with agent Drew Rosenhaus, Terrelle Pryor ended speculation on his future today.

"I know y'all been waiting, but I've decided," the former Ohio State quarterback said pulling an Ohio State cap  from underneath a table and placing it on his head. "I'm going to sign with THE Ohio State University and bring back the Big Ten title to C-bus, y'all."

Pryor appeared relieved as agent Rosenhaus described the lucrative terms of Pryor's contract with reporters. Pryor will sign a one-year deal with the Buckeyes with a guaranteed salary of just $23,000 in total cash value. The real value in the contract will come from a series of incentives and marketing deals valued at anywhere from $0-$40,000. 

One anonymous Columbus business expert explained the deal to EDSBS.

"See, he'll sign stuff, and then people will buy it online. It's an open market. Some people will pay up to $500 for something with his signature, you know? Some people need to be shot in the fucking head so I can take their money and do something less stupid with it like eating it whole or burning or some shit besides giving it to Terrelle Pryor."

In addition to the memorabilia sideline, Pryor will receive a number of other extra benefits, including but not limited to free tattoos, his choice of loaner cars from a local car dealership, free rounds of golf, and free food and beverage at select local establishments. Experts tag the entire package as somewhere around a total benefit of $100,000.

"I'm just happy to pursue my football dreams in a familiar place. Go Bucks!"

When asked if Pryor's contract with Ohio State was finalized, or even really possible under the rules of NCAA amateurism, Rosenhaus smiled as he addressed the media. 

"I'm on drugs. No comment! Thank you!"

Did anyone see the new OSU coach on Sportscenter today?

He said he wanted to lead the country in 3 things: effort, toughness, and turnovers.

Unfortunately, the first 2 aren’t readily measurable, and evidence suggests that the last statistic is largely a function of luck (with the notable exception of INTs in the NFL, and even that’s not a strong coefficient).

Not off to a good start.

had eye surgery in 2008. Glad I did it, would never go back, but my night vision sucks really badly most of the time. Get really bad halos, occaisionally makes driving a problem.

I've been looking into that.

But my eyes haven’t settled down quite enough for the doctors to tell me if I can actually get the surgery. My eyesight is TERRIBLE- my contacts are -7.25 and -7.75.

Lasik I don't think would be a problem.

I got PRK, which is recommended for the military. Less chance of random bumping (like, you know, a concussion from an IED or something) causing the flap to release and your vision to revert or something. Hurt like…well, let’s just say it was much worse than yesterday’s surgery.

My mom's German Shepherd had a similar problem

The puppy was born with some kind of neck/spine issue and always ran around with its head cocked to the side at about a 60 degree angle. My parents were afraid they were going to have to get her put down but took her to a doggy acupuncturist/chiropractor who stuck some needles in her neck to make her relax then did some magic and the dog has been fine ever since.

My rent allowance as a captain in 2004-05 for downtown Tokyo

was $7000 a month. Between that and my cost of living allowance, we figured out that I was probably the highest paid captain in the Army in terms of what went into my bank account (even though I just had to turn it over to the landlord, didn’t get to keep it) since most people like that were Majors and above.

Well, $571 per night does seem a bit high, even for Tokyo

though that’s because I know what options are out there. If they just put him in the Hilton because they recognized the name, then that will set you back. But $571 a night, even in Tokyo, should get you a NICE hotel room.

Fun military math: Last November I went from Camp Zama to Tokyo for a two-day conference, one night stay because we had a dinner and stuff. My boss dragged me along, not that I complained. I made $250 or so in travel money, for basically going from the suburb into the city, on top of my hotel bill, etc.

Of course, they don’t do very many trade shows anymore, so having one event and putting it in SF saves them a ton of cash…

When my wife’s current company was acquired by Cisco, the management decided “we need to blow through all our cash before just forking it over to Chambers” – so they bought everyone a top-of-the-line iPod, bused everyone to Half Moon Bay, had a huge dinner and put them up overnight at the Ritz-Carlton.

You're at Zama? Where at?

I’ve been to Schofield a few times, but don’t know much about units there other than 500th MI BDE. Without knowing anything else about your situation, I’d fly in, stay a night in Honolulu, then make your way up there. It’s not far, in the sense that nothing is “far” on Oahu, but it does take a little while to get there and after the flight you may just want to sleep first.

I’m at UH for grad work, so I have all the benefits of being in the military without any of the actual “military” right now. But Schofield seems nice enough—very very close to the North Shore. Not sure about places to live—married? Kids? Lots of people seem to live in Mililani, but I have no idea if it’s any good or not. Most of my friends here work at USARPAC, and I stay towards Shafter/Pearl/Hickam because they’re close to me.

Ah, okay--had it backwards. Blame it on the drugs.

I was in downtown Tokyo, working at Hardy Barracks, so hence why my housing allowance was so big. For Zama it’s not nearly that, I think about $2500, and what you can get for that is not great. But you’ll likely be on post, as there’s plenty of on-post housing, either there on Zama or at Sagamihara Housing Area. Do NOT—I say again—DO NOT let them put you at Sagami Depot, unless you work in 35th Trans and so work over there.

If you don’t have pets, the towers weren’t bad at all. My wife was in one while I was in AF—she may have a different opinion of being on the 7th floor, but the actual apartment itself was decently nice. We preferred living off-post, but we both speak Japanese. If you do, then I suggest off-post, but you may have to get permission.

Any idea where you’ll work? I was at Hardy Barracks for a little over a year, then to Zama to work in G2, then took command in 441st MI (part of 500th), then went to Kumamoto to be a liaison with the GSDF for 2 years, then wife moved back to Zama and I went to AF. Spent 4 more months puttering around at Zama before moving here. Great place—best kept secret in the Army, as far as I’m concerned. But understand that it’s not a “Type A” kind of place—lots of people who stay there because it’s more relaxed and they aren’t exactly go-getters. Frustrating at times.

If we were staying longer, I’d be interested in Hawaii Kai, for sure. Nice area. However, I’m wheels up in 12 months to DC (hopefully), so…

just got back from iraq

So I’m done with being “type a” for a while. So that would actually be awesome.

My job will be at the HQ of I Corps (Forward) at Camp Zama. Its a good job, and actually looks good on the ol’resume (jag-weenie here). After three years with 25th ID, I’m ready for a break.

Thanks for the advice about Sagami Depot. Now… we have two pets (I know, that should be fun) so hopefully we can get them in without extreme trouble since Hawaii is a designated “rabies free country” according to Japanese law.

I didn’t even know they stationed people at Hardy Barracks, thought that was just an MWR center.

Asian Studies--I'm a FAO doing things backwards

spent 2 years doing FAO work as a liaison because I already spoke Japanese, catching up now with the MA.

HQ I Corps(FWD) and USARJ are essentially the same thing—same HQ’s, with some billets marked “I Corps” on the manning roster, others marked “USARJ”. Your pets are dogs? We moved there with dogs, but that was before Japan made the laws stricter, so we got away with a home quarantine. But coming from Hawaii you should be fine.

Hardy Barracks is an MWR center, the HQ and press for Stars & Stripes, and a few random offices. I worked for a small liaison office there, which fell under 500th MI. We did some cool stuff, and I was the only green suiter in the office, 4 Japanese and 4 Americans, with me as the only gringo. Excellent times.

Serious question

Joe Bauserman went to school right up the road from me, to my rival high school. I’m now friends with guys he went to school with, and we’re planning a trip out to OSU’s first home game to see him play/for shits and giggles. What say you, commentariat? Worth going? Things to consider: 1) I’ve never been to a college game outside the ACC. 2) I’d be missing a VT home game, but we’re playing App State (I think), so hopefully I won’t miss anything exciting.

OSU games are lots of fun.

Make sure you go to Skull Session- it’s in St. John Arena(the old basketball arena), 2 hours before kickoff(though, if you want a seat, you’ll have to get there a half hour earlier than that). The band runs through a bunch of things, and in the recent past, the players have walked through and there’s been a little speech from the head coach.

As for the other stuff on campus, if you get into town early, the Buckeye Grove is neat to check out(A Buckeye tree planted for each All American). There’s other stuff, but you’ll have to ask people who have been more recently than I have.

Lineups for Canada-Panama are up.

Canada’s in a 4-5-1; they went 4-3-3 against the US. I bring this up because it’s possible to actually vary your formation across games. You’d be forgiven for not knowing this if all you had seen was Bob Bradley coach.

I think training camp for Bob

consisted of watching mid-90s Premier League games in a dark room with a towel and a box of Kleenex.

To be fair, he did try a 4-3-3

which is pretty useless when your strikers don’t help coming back

Two things:

- 4-3-3 is awful for the US’s personnel (even if I absolutely love the formation in theory); 4-5-1 makes a lot more sense generally, even if I’m unsure of the details.
- Asking Altidore to track back is a fool’s errand, so I wouldn’t expect anything from him.

by Chris Pendley on Jun 14, 2011 6:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

you only need two to track really

it actually suits us pretty well- Jones,Bradley,whomever (but probably Holden) with Augedelo,Dempsey(false 9), and Altidore is probably our best lineup

Or even Dempsey on the wing with Holden on the middle.

Dempsey can do it.

I’m not sure if Altidore can, and I don’t know enough about Agudelo to know if he can play on the wing either. That leaves Donovan out entirely; I can see an argument for putting him on the wing, too.

I do like the idea of Dempsey in a false 9.

Donovan is good on the wing- I forgot about him

players from Guadeloupe who do not play for Guadeloupe

via

Thierry Henry, a star of the French National Team and MLS club New York Red Bulls, often visits as his father Antoine was originally from the island. William Gallas, whose parentage is Guadeloupean, visits the island when not playing for Tottenham or the French National team. Lilian Thuram, a former star football defender for France and FC Barcelona, was born in Guadeloupe. The French national team and Everton F.C. striker Louis Saha is also of Guadeloupean descent, as is Kettering Town F.C. goalkeeper Willy Gueret. Pascal Chimbonda of Queens Park Rangers was also born in Guadeloupe. Inter Milan star Jonathan Biabiany is also of Guadeloupean descent.

Algeria probably wants Zidane back as well.

but yeah- given that all those guys hit their prime at about the same time, Guadeloupe might have legitimate complaints about France taking their players

I think that if they did the "West Indies" thing they do in every other sport

they’d have an argument for the best team in the world. Martinique produces some good players as well.

Assuming they don't just repatriate to play for other nations.

Then again, they wouldn’t need to / want to if their national team was worth it.

Oh look, we're starting Clint Dempsey in midfield and moving him up to forward in the 70th minute again?
